Ohhhh and as I sat in various trees, and soccer chairs (we may have invented recliner hunting) thinking of shit storm ideas.
We have some good ones but you know what, we've had some serious storms for a while now, and to be perfectly honest, I'm still in a turkey comatose.
So let's just do something nice, calm, and relaxing.
On to the storm.
I always thought it was funny how people would apply names to their offense or defense. Sometimes coaches think of these names, and other times the media slaps some dumbass marketable name to it.
So for the shit storm, of Monday morn, list your favorite offense and defense for any sport imaginable. I'm willing to accept chess strategy. Your choice, could be simply based on the name alone, or it could stem from technical aspects.
Or you can just make one up.
For the offense:
Naturally, it's the Flexbone. Not only does this offense have a great name which provides me with material for blog posts, but it's also my favorite brand of football. "The option won't work in the SEC...Too much speed." Paul Johnson acknowledges your argument and provides a counterpoint.
"Suck on my Flexbone."
I'm planning a technical post on the flexbone in the future, but know this: It's awesome.
Defense:
I love Pop Warner football coaches. They're great. Some are really great coaches who do really great things for kids. Others coach their sons and teach kids proper fundamentals which will help them in the future. However, some think they are Bill Walsh, Mike Martz, and Buddy Ryan rolled into one. I've met such a person. This summer at a 4th of July party my mother made the mistake of telling some pop warner coach that I played college football. She had good intentions, but unfortunately the coach wanted to show me his "Innovative" offense and defense. I'll go into the offense in the comment section, but he had his defensive playbook in his truck. he handed it to me and on the front I read: "Animal Defense"
I didn't have the heart to tell him what he had given me was a 33 stack. Thousands of teams run this defense. (Not to mention that it is essentially the Ollllllleeeee 5-3) Anyway, all I could say was: "Animal Defense...Sounds badass."
Hopefully we can get some other sports involved.
Shit storm begin.
